I went to trainers before him which were horrible experiences, was told to put down my older pitbull and that she was too old to train, that people wouldn't train her because she's a pitbull, and all Mike's recommendations & teaching helped us turn things around for her. She's now much happier and safer as am I. If you are worried about using a prong collar just test it out on yourself first it doesn't hurt, same with a shock collar, I mean that one stings but it's nothing unbearable which made me feel better about using them on my ladies. Gave great recommendations for the collars to buy. Easy to use.

We are beyond grateful to the amazing team at Greenleaf Pet Training Resort for everything they did…read morefor our boxer pup Louie. He was definitely a tough one, and there were moments when it felt really hard, but they never gave up on him. They had patience, dedication, and the time it took to truly work with him meant more to us than words can express. His trainers made this entire experience such a positive one for our family, and we are so thankful for all the support, guidance, and care they showed every step of the way. Seeing how wonderful things are going at home now honestly feels unbelievable, and we know it would not have happened without all of their help. A very special thank you to Jake and Paul for believing in Louie and helping him -- and us -- through this journey. The Spinale family is incredibly grateful, happy, and thankful for everything they have done.

Both times she came home sick and required a vet visit. The first time she had kennel cough. This time we boarded her for a week and she came home down 3 pounds 26 lbs to 23 lbs) and with terrible diarrhea that lasted for days and required another vet visit and medication to address. Zero communication about her not eating or the weight loss during the stay or at pickup. Not sure if it was a case of their lack of attention to what was going on or they just didn't care. We have boarded our dogs there many times over the years but the care and attention now seems to be lacking. I can no longer recommend them.

Our 6-month-old Golden Retriever, Buddy, has shown tremendous progress and even passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen test today! It was clear that Trevor loved seeing Buddy and Buddy loved seeing him, too. We are grateful for all that Trevor has done and have to say that all of the trainers we interacted with were also always kind and encouraging. We always looked forward to our training sessions and now that they have come to an end, it's comforting to know that we can come back for a refresher anytime if needed. Thank you to Trevor and all of the staff for taking good care of our pup! Attached is a photo of Buddy with his CGC ribbon, looking proud and rather serious! :)

If I could give zero stars I absolutely would. I had dropped my 11 mo Labrador off on Wednesday…read moreSept 22 and called Sept 24 to see how he was adjusting. I was told he's doing great and coming out of his shell as he was nervous when I dropped him off. I didn't hear from anyone until Tuesday October 5th (the day before pickup) when I received a voicemail from Mallory that she needed to speak with me. When I returned her call I was informed that my dog had a rash on his neck and wanted to tell me before picking him up the next day and it shouldn't be a "cause for concern." She stated that the day after he was dropped off, staff noticed a tiny itchy, dry spot on his neck that progressively got worse. She continued to repeat that they didn't want this to be a cause for concern and naturally concerned, I asked to be sent a picture of the rash. This was no rash at all. The picture I was sent showed my dog next to a trainer with a raw, oozing wound where his jaw meets the base of his neck. It looked very infected and he definitely needed medical treatment so I immediately went to the facility to pick him up. When I arrived, I did not find my dog in the same condition as shown in the picture I received just an hour earlier. His wound was dry and completely scabbed over. The staff stated the wound looked much better than before (because it was healing). I immediately took him to the vet for a thorough exam and our vet diagnosed a skin infection of the hair follicles caused by injury to the skin. He also estimated that the original picture I was sent earlier that day was taken at least a few days prior. The vet also estimated that this injury occurred at least a full week prior to the training staff notifying me. Not only did my dog have an infected injury on his neck, he also had an infected wound on his testicles, had lost a significant amount of weight, as well as developing upper respiratory infection. Prior to sending him to the facility he was a big overweight with a very thick coat. The dog I picked up had lost at least 10 lbs and his spine and hip bones can be felt to the touch. The picture I was sent from staff showed a very obvious infection and the staff neglected to care for my dog or notify me that he needed medical treatment and attempted to treat this wound themselves with only A&D ointment. When asked about the 24 hour veterinarian on call mentioned on the training facility website, the staff stated they do not have a veterinarian on call. A bit misleading. After examining the neck wound we noticed small bumps around the sides of the wound that seem consistent with a pronged collar. We don't know how these injuries occurred but it's very clear our dog was NOT properly cared for and the staff neglected to provide our dog with basic medical treatment or at the very least inform us that our dog needed to see a vet. I will NEVER recommend the Dan Gentile Training to anyone.

I'm writing now because we now have a new puppy and I was looking for training places and this place came up and brought up bad memories so I felt I needed to write our experience. We dropped our dog off and went on a trip so she could go through the program. Coming back to pick the dog up we couldn't wait to see our dog thinking she would be so excited to see us but to our surprise our dog was subdued and looked defeated. No tail wagging or anything. Before the trainer showed us what they did, she commented that if WE didn't follow directions we had to put $25 in this jar. We laughed it off as though she was kidding but to be honest I don't think she was. They walked us through what they did and the "progress" and mind you they had a spike collar on the dog so when you pull it digs right into their neck. The trainer was showing us and she pulled so hard my dog let out a painful yelp! It looked like torture to be honest. We immediately said we are done here and left ASAP! My dog eventually recovered and we found a dog trainer that used positive enforcements and she became her happy self again

We were very excited to hire Matt to help us train our GSP. Our main concerns before hiring him, as…read morewe told him, we enduring our dog does not become reactive, aggressive, and does not attack children as we have two young kids and children coming in and out often for events. Our first visit Matt told us his dog attacked his child on three different occasions. This didn't sit well with us AT ALL, but we decided to try a second session because we paid $580 and obviously wanted to get what we paid for. The second session I mentioned how our dog was very nippy and I'd like advice how to stop that. During this time he informed me his child just had a birthday party and his wife knew not to do it, but she let their dog out of the crate and he attacked a child. Matt seemed more concerned about his image as he said that it was embarrassing because everybody knew what he did for a living. This didn't sit well with me AT ALL and after discussing with my husband, we agreed that having a dog trainer who owns a reactive dog that attacks children can't possibly give us the tools we require to ensure our dog doesn't become like that. If he's unable to control his own dog then how can his advice and training rollover to his clients dogs? We hired Matt on false pretenses. Had he been upfront and honest with us that he had an out of control dog, then we would have never hired him. He refunded 1/3 of our payment due to him being uncomfortable working with us due to our concerns, which is laughable as we shared valid concerns. We 100% deserve the full refund since he was dishonest when we hired him, because no he could not give us the tools required to ensure our dog wasn't aggressive towards people or children since his dog is reactive dog. I'm truly disgusted by his business and for what he charges for 3 sessions considering he can't even train his own dog. So hire if you want, but be aware Matt has a dog in his home who attacks children so if that's the kind of dog trainer you want then go for it. I personally would rather hire a trainer who can control his own animals though.
